saltydecimator 482 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I have a snap on taco box at work, but I want a large full length and width top drawer that will replicate a current gen snapon. Buuuuuuut not cost the same.... Snappy wants 1200 for a 50x26.5x6" deep setup. Matco wants $2100? Long story long. I paid $800 for whole box so I'll be horse fahked before I spend more on 1 drawer than i did on whole box... Anyone have any suggestions¿ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) There is always a cheaper alternative. I had a sweet shop-box, in aerospace, years ago. More space than I could use in 20 years. Sold it for what I paid, $600. It was a huge roller (probably 300 Ibs). Good luck! Edited March 31, 2016 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 ok sheet metal skills, did it on KC-135s for 4 years, but this is diff. figured maybe just build frame outta wood, and use metal rails and drawer...if i could find a drawer of correct size... they look like this....

Sim_Player 1,939 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Mine was that same size, also Snap-On but, all my drawers opened on the same side. Can you modify one of your existing drawers? Edited April 4, 2016 by Sim_Player Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saltydecimator 482 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 good point, that would be sensible..... ill ask my snap on lady this week....shes humoring the $h!t outta me with my requests, as they should, for the money, but shes still gets brownie points in my book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
